I can honestly say this without hesitation. Everyone that I have seen so far looks good even if better when they were younger. Dancing really is what keeps us all young & healthy. I am so glad to have grown up in the era when watching Soul Train on Saturdays was a weekly standard. Man, I wouldn’t trade my childhood for anything . He was one of my favorites by the way.

One of the most memorable Soul Train dancers. So happy he was interviewed. 😃

Myron is a superstar to fans of Soul Train. He always stood out and I loved seeing him freestyling going down the Soul Train line.

I have been Myron’s Insurance agent for over a decade and I had only heard of his amazing stories while on soul train and his own musical venture.I am so proud of him and i’m glad he’s getting some recognition!

I’ve been waiting FOR YEARS for Myron to share his story. I’m surprised he mentioned bandstand, but not surprised as he was definitely one of the most popular on there at one point. Salute to you, Myron!

Instead of these individual clips on KZread there should be a two hour made for TV special on all the Soul Train stars

Bout time they interviewed Myron...he was one of the main dancers to watch!!! And he's looking good!!!

Me and my buddies were in the AF and used to call him/his dance 'Shimmy Man/The Shimmy Man dance'. We would get a few drinks in us and do some clowning around doing this thing called. "its a bird, its a plane, it's SHIMMY MAN!" instead of superman and start doing our version of his dance. Lol It was hilarious because each of us would add our own spin on it. I actually met him back in the day at a Mall in LA when I was a teenager (We're around the same age) He was pretty cool dude.

It would be interesting to see what a Soul Train show would look like in this era . The music in this era to me is hit or miss and the dances could reflect that .As long as the music is hot ,the dances will b,e too.

I went from elementary school to graduate school watching this guy on Soul Train.

Easting Cereal on Saturdays and SOULLLLLL TRAIINNNNNN ...was the best combo 😃!

God I miss my childhood watching Soul Train especially in the 80s when I was a teenager. I learned to dance by watching Soul Train...please take me back 😢

These are our grandparents and parents. What a time it was to be young.. look now. The youth cant go anywhere without violence erupting. Take me back to the 70s, 80s and 90s

Myron is the man. He utilized his time on Soul Train to propel himself into acting and other vehicles. Very smart!!! Did not know he created the Harlem Shake. Love it!!!

Genius idea to have these iconic dancers tell their own stories. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Myron perform. So much energy, so much joy!!!

Hi Myron 😌. I am from The Soul Train era and I miss it sooooo much 😒. I was never a savvy (I went into singing since high school and beyond afterwards in public) dancer but I ❤'d watching The Soul Train. I still have many albums oh, yes actual albums, from that era and have no plans on getting rid of him. I just cannot get with what is called music of today. It just sounds like a bunch of unidentified noises to me. I will always be an ol' school music lover till God calls me home and perhaps afterwards ☺. Thank you Myron for the wonderful reminder of when music was music. God bless you and your family. 🎶😙🙏❤ Darlene from the Windy City

He was my absolute favorite Soul Train dancer!

The Harlem Shake was created at Rucker Park Basketball Games during the summer months, Harlem NY.

WE LOVEEEEE WHEN YOU PROFILE THE DANCERS!! 👏🏽👏🏽

This show was a big deal. No one could sit down during Soul Train. We were all up dancing together and dancing with the dancers on TV. Myron stood out in a sea of greats. He taught me personally how cool in public moved, dressed, and conducted himself. These ladies and gentlemen on ST were so iconic and such great role models for all the kids watching. It was always about being part of the larger group, live and let live, having fun but respecting everyone else, learning each others' moves but putting your own special spin on them, being the best version of yourself. Dancing was and is fun, healthy, a great way to stay in shape and express whatever you are feeling, good, bad, or ugly, in a creative and socially positive way. Thank you Myron and all the dancers of ST for all the great times and free life lessons.

One of my favorite dancers!! Looking good Myron!! You are looking even better with age. I love these Soul Train Dancers stories. It was about time you all got your props, you all made history!!

I lived in LA at the time, and I remember him on a local dance show, before he went to AB and Soul Train. He stood out, because he was probably the best dancer on that show. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of that show, but he was very young.

He’s still so beautiful. He put his heart and soul into his dancing; you could just feel his energy just like with Michael Jackson. Probably only a handful of people could do his signature dance, the Harlem shake (doing it justice) 😀 He would be a good choice to host a new, this century, ST? But can we do a ST reboot with today’s lack luster music? Probably not!

I love these interviews he really gave us a look behind the scenes and showed us how hard they had to work back then love you Myron💜💜💜💜Soul Train Legend😘😘

It’s amazing to see all of the dancer’s share their stories; much love and respect. ❤️❤️❤️

This was my crush on Soul Train and he was a great dancer.

He was certainly one of the standout dancers. Didn't realize he started so young at 15 years old.

I love seeing the dancers recalling their stories of the early Soul Train days. This is beautiful!!!

WOW... This is going to be great!! Can't wait for it

I remember Myron being on both shows like it was just yesterday! I always wondered how that came about.

I definitely remember him dancing in the 80’s

I definitely remember his unique dancing watching Soul Train the 80s. Glad to see he is well

I really enjoyed listening & watching his journey to and off Soul Train including the accompanying witty animation, could easily watch an added two hours more of his experience on the show. BTW the magnitude of beautiful people showcased on the show within the clips from Tyrone Proctor, The Whispers, Marvin Gaye killing in the pink suit and of course Myron, just wow

Remember him and Cheryl were always coordinated. 😁 His moves definitely stood out.

Omg, he looks so young still.

Wow 1976 till 1995🧐 I've often wondered what ever happened to the dancer man that moved his hands and Body so swiftly. Years ago I used to say why is he dancing on America Bandstand. Because the majority of the dancers on Bandstand couldn't dance. Soul Train was the best dancing show for him.

Congratulations Myron what an adorable adventure May God continue to bless you in all your endeavors

I remember him… yesss!! I love that Soul Train gave a LOT of these dancers opportunities to be stylists; singers; back up singers; designers; choreographers; be in music videos, movies & commercials… etc! I always want to go on Soul Train 😌😊✊🏾

Myron was on of the best dancers on Soul Train, thank you for the memories Myron.

While watching this, I thought about Don and it's so sad the way he left this world. I loved watching this on the wknd back in the day.

He has a very exciting history. Although he wasn't paid by Soul train it opened a lot of great doors for him. I loved this.

At least he was honest, "...we looked at them as peasants..." 😊 I had a cousin who made it on but she left after about 2 shows. She told us she couldn't tolerate the pettiness and jealousy. Now, my cousin was beautiful inside and out so hearing him admit the attitude of the dancers (maybe not all) just verified her truthfulness. We believed her anyways though. It's so much fun watching these videos of the dancers. He was one of my faves. My sister and I use to call him "Tyrone" because he looked like our soon-to-be then uncle. Thank you for sharing these videos with us. ❤️

Every single dancer on Soul Train is a legend. Period. I was a dancer and I was mesmerized at all the dancers, and it was so awesome to see people that looked like me on tv getting down!! This show is a gem.

OMG Myron I have been drastically searching for you . I’ve inquired about you on almost every Soul Train video. After I saw you do the “Harlem Shake”I was hooked, having no idea you were the creator of that dance therefore dubbing you “Mr. Shake”. My husband saw you in garment district downtown L.A. He came and said guess who I saw, Mr. Shake. He said he told you I called you that. When I first saw you do the Harlem Shake I was looking for you every show. Then you were the highlight and I watched the show anxiously to see you. A few years back I viewed one episode and you danced to “Let it Whip” I couldn’t stop watching you and now when I’m feeling a lil down I’ll play it. When I hear let it whip on the radio I think of you and. Smile. You were fantastic on Soul train. I’m so glad I ran across this interview. Tony Briggs interview popped up and he mentioned your name “Myron”. I was like that’s him I’ll search his First name and Soul Train and voilà! Thank you so much for this interview I had no idea you were so young when you started so true and by the way you look amazing also thank you for making that experience one that will never be forgotten!

Myron and nem, ICONS all day! Chile we use to try that dance, but most of us, could only get one side right, lol. Our rhythm was off. We were like how does he do that, and alternate, his arms, and still move his hips? Myron, was definitely, one of many favorite dancers. Great memories.

So the entire time they weren’t paid except for a bucket of yard bird Don Cornelius wow

Loooove you!! I’m from Augusta, Ga. James Brown… the legend. I’m 70 yrs. old and finally met him at Bush Field Airport a few years before he passed away. The most wonderful moment of my life. The highlight of my light. Entertainers work their butts off to keep our lives full of joy. THANK YOU FOR the joy you have imbedded in our lives….through and through. I love you!! Peace, love, and light.
